HAWKE IN SPACE , SEPTEMBER 2004
Terry Hawke, on his Hawke in Space website, says: "This band exudes classic space-rock at a most intrusive and explorative depth. . . A classic space-rock album enveloped in the best traditions of the 1970's, fine mix of space-rock and melodic over-lays. Best Trax: "You Are Here", "There" & "Infinity Drive". Hawke Rating: 6/10."

BLACK TEARS DISTRIBUTION CATALOGUE, OCTOBER 2004
Doom guru Russ Smith writes: "Prepare for Sonic Attack! Litmus' full length album holds up very well with Hawkwind at their very best. Definitely the best space rock album for way over a decade, IMHO. I wouldn't normally stock this sort of material, but I think the band deserve the chance to be heard by a wider range of music lovers than just the 'space rock' scene."
